Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality: Chapter 552 - The Pure Land and the Evil Land of Hasa

Chapter 552 - The Pure Land and the Evil Land of Hasa

Chapter 552 The Pure Land and the Evil Land of Hasa

As expected, before the south reinforcements come to the capital, rebellious Lord Shen has conquered the city.

Lord Shen rebels in the name of “rid the emperor of ‘evil’ concubine”. But eventually, he doesn’t personally cut off the beautiful head on the slender neck of the “evil concubine”. Instead, he kills the old king who is very similar to him.

The evil concubine is right. A woman can never come between a true and stable parent-child relationship. The new king will soon ascend the throne. He has to wash out his guilt of killing the former king and his own father. A country is the most chaotic at this moment. Apprentices of Xin Yuanping and Yinshan School choose to leave now.

For Lin Luoran and others, no one is familiar with the so-called interstellar transmission circle!

In Liao’s words, if one’s personal ability reaches a certain level, traveling across worlds really means nothing. No one needs a transmission circle!

As an alien, Colin knows how to operate a starship very well. In his opinion, relying on a magic circle to travel among stars is really amazing, which is totally beyond the technology of the big universe era—in other words… don’t expect an alien to do it! It’s impossible!

Hu Ji looks at the sky, “This king is just a rabble of the earth.”

Mu Tiannan and others all agree. Being earth rabbles is not shameful. Whether they are human beings or monsters, they are all real “earth rabbles” who know little about a transmission circle.

Lin Luoran can use the “listening spell” to read people’s minds. However, she can’t make people keep thinking about the “interstellar transmission circle”! The low-rank cultivators are also ignorant of it. Xin Yuanping has a good personal ability and sensitive six senses. They may expose themselves if they act recklessly.

Lin Luoran nudges Liao on the arm, “How about clairvoyance?”

“Clairvoyance” is often associated with “clairaudience”. Liao may also know how to use it.

Liao almost freaks out. It’s obvious that they can’t make any mistake in the interstellar teleportation. Does she just ask him to stealthily “watch” how Xin Yuanping does it and then copy it?

The interstellar transmission circle is guarded by Yinshan School cultivators. In the eyes of mortals, it is just a pile of rocks. Of course, that is the superficial appearance. Lin Luoran threatens Liao in silence. Clairvoyance is not a big deal for Liao. He simply makes Xin Yuanping’s actions “closer” to them, just like watching a 3D movie zooming in front of everyone.

They see that she takes out nine spirit stones of extraordinary quality and then places them in the corresponding stone trough. Lin Luoran holds her breath, silently remembering the order and time difference of how Xin Yuanping places the spirit stones. She wants to copy it correctly later.

The spirit stones on the stone trough move, and the real transmission circle appears. There are dozens of people around Xin Yuanping, and they are in groups of six. These cultivators quickly step into the light wall and then disappear.

It seems that only six people can be transported away at a time? Lin Luoran has tried to divide their people into groups in her mind so that they can take care of each other and help each other during the interstellar teleportation. After all, no one knows what is waiting for them on the other side of the transmission circle.

There are 13 people, which means that one person must be alone.

Hu Ji raises his hand and silently mouths the word “I can”.

Everything has been arranged properly. There are fewer and fewer cultivators waiting to be transmitted. Xin Yuanping is also quietly waiting for the somewhat boring transmission. Everyone is a little slack.

Something unusual happens at this moment. Xin Yuanping suddenly moves, and she changes the position of the spirit stones very quickly. She then disappears in the transmission circle with her five apprentices.

Damn it! Xin Yuanping must have noticed something!

Lin Luoran decides to show up immediately. The old man surnamed Cheng has already returned spirit stones to the original place. A large group of people suddenly appear in front of them and the strength of many people is unknown. His first thought is that the school taking over the Tiankui Star doesn’t want them to leave. He soon flees into the transmission circle with a dark face. The last few people of Yinshan School have also disappeared.

As for the nine top spirit stones placed in the stone trough by Xin Yuanping, they run out of energy, turn into dust, and then they are blown away.

This is the punishment for arrogance!

Lin Luoran regrets it very much, and everyone has nothing to say.

Seven of them have the personal ability of Gathering Vitality. They figure out that the Tiankui Star is almost abandoned, so they can’t control the arrogance in their mind—it’s still not stressful for Lin Luoran to confront her old enemy Xin Yuanping. However, they just fail miserably in a very easy task. Xin Yuanping has made great progress in the world of cultivation in hundreds of years.

“What should we do now? They go to two totally different places.” Baojia has a big temper. After being fooled, she is likely to go mad.

Yang Lisha blinks. Her face is like a round apple which makes people want to take a bite, “We can just split up.”

Splitting up into two groups, one group following Yinshan School while the other one following Xin Yuanping—this method is the most effective. They can figure out the connection among Yinshan School, Xin Yuanping, and the cultivators who came here from the earth.

But the biggest problem is—

“This world is not small. Where are we going to reunite?”

Lin Luoran is now looking for the Lins family. She doesn’t want to lose the people she brought here before finding the Lins.

Liao thinks for a while, “Even though cultivation is prevalent and there are so many stars here, cultivators must always exchange their experiences and purchases. There must be such a star. It is the largest and most famous star in the world of cultivation with many schools. We divide ourselves into two groups for five years. Whether we can find the Lins by then or not, we must go to this main star to reunite, ok?”

Well, that’s more complicated than the previous plan.

Yang Lisha looks around and claps her hands, “Anyway, I know both the Lins family and many cultivators of the previous batch. You and I can be the leader of these two teams.”

Yang Lisha does know the Lins family and the crazy Taoist. Well, she even once helped Xin Yuanping with her broken arm. As for the new generation of cultivation world on the earth, Yang Lisha has seen them when they went to Babylon through the Tower of Babel last time.

“Thanks!” Yang Lisha has no obligation to help Lin Luoran find her family, so she really means it by saying it.

“It’s nothing.” Yang Lisha doesn’t say anything, but cool Voiddy answers.

Lin Luoran has helped her and Yang Lisha re-humanize. Monsters are not without conscience. Five years mean nothing for them.

In the end, they reach an agreement that Ma Shuangshuang, Han Weiya, Hu Ji, and the two female monsters go to the planet where Yinshan School apprentices are for investigation. As for the rest of Lin Luoran, they will follow Xin Yuanping.

“No matter what the result is after five years, we should all go to the main star in this world for a reunion.”

Everyone nods solemnly.

Five people, including the siblings of the Ma family, Han Weiya, and reluctant King Hu, disappear in the transmission circle.

Liao hates Xin Yuanping’s tricks. He changes the order and position of the spirit stones with his great memory and then leaves with Bai Qingxue, Baojia, Colin, and Rong Xinyi first.

Mu Tiannan says he must go there together with Lin Luoran, and Lin Luoran is speechless.

“It’s our turn.”

Lin Luoran has no experience in the interstellar transmission circle. She can’t know the amount of spirit stone energy in advance as Xin Yuanping did. Lin Luoran is worried that something bad will happen when the energy can’t support her and Mu Tiannan. Therefore, they wait for a long time until the transmission circle light wall becomes dimmed again. Later on, after replacing the spirit stones, she finally enters the circle with Mu Tiannan.

Man proposes, God disposes. When Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan are on their half way, a certain stone trough where the spirit stone is placed trembles slightly for some reason. Before they notice it, their destination has already been changed.

After several stopovers, Lay Buddhist Xin has reached her destination. She takes a deep breath in her familiar place. Lay Buddhist Xin thinks it is really interesting—she wonders which one of the sneaky people behind her will be fooled.

After Liao and others arrive on a strange star, they have waited for so long but they still can’t see Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan. They all turn pale.

—What went wrong?!

In the transmission circle on the Tiankui Star, a few swordsmen with good personal ability step out of the light wall.

One of them checks the stone trough and says angrily, “School brother, the people of Yinshan School actually have the nerve to play tricks!”

The young swordsman who is called school brother checks it and frowns slightly.

“After all, the Tiankui Star is remote. The transmission circle maybe out of repair for long years. You don’t need to pay too much attention to such kinds of details. You guys check the transmission circle and then get ready to meet our schoolmaster.”

The swordsmen follow his order. They are soon busy doing their jobs.

They can’t understand why their young schoolmaster suddenly is interested in this remote Tiankui star. He even wants to occupy this star at the expense of offending Yinshan School. However, they will never question the school master’s decision because of their obedient nature.

One after another, swordsmen are teleported to the Tiankui Star. It’s getting dark, and their schoolmaster finally appears in the transmission circle.

He wears a luxurious dust-free dress, and he is the only one without a sword. However, his temperament is even greater than any flying sword of swordsmen.

“Go find her.”

A picture scroll flies out from his hand and slowly spreads out in the air.

The appearance of the woman is not amazing for the world of cultivation which is full of beautiful female cultivators. However, her temperament is attractive. These swordsmen don’t have any evil thoughts, and they just keep the person in the painting in their mind. They then turn into the light on their swords, heading to all directions of the Tiankui Star.

The schoolmaster puts away the picture, and his eyes are brimming with radiating light.

When the evening wind in the mountains blows his sleeves, a vivid and unique red flame embroidered on his sleeves is revealed.

Lin Luoran feels a little dizzy about the tearing force of the interstellar transmission circle.

When she and Mu Tiannan can stand firm, they see that outside the circle, it’s a barren desert with rolling yellow sand. Judging by experience, they soon realize it—something went wrong in the transmission!

Lin Luoran smiles bitterly. Whether it was Xin Yuanping’s trick or inevitable accidents—the former can make them doubt themselves while the latter can only blame luck—neither of which is a pleasant reason.

“Take things as they come. We can’t stay in the circle forever.”

Mu Tiannan comforts her, and Lin Luoran nods.

When they step out of the transmission circle, they look back at the place where they came from. They find that the interstellar transmission circle has disappeared. They can’t even find the messy stone troughs. There is only similar yellow sand on the ground. Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan both feel their temples begin to throb.

Does losing the sacred pearl space mean that she has run out of luck? If the interstellar transmission circle transmitted to this star is a one-way journey, Lin Luoran would like to write the word “thunder” to summon purple thunder to strike herself hard.

Mu Tiannan pretends to be relaxed and jokes, “One-way transmission is nice. Other people will not come to disturb us.”

Lin Luoran glares at him and flies to the sky with the Wind-riding Spell angrily.

Mu Tiannan laughs and jumps lightly. He doesn’t use any arts of nature but he can fly high in the sky merely relying on his physical strength.

As soon as the view is broadened, they discover that the desert where they have been transmitted is an isolated island surrounded by water.

The raging sea is surging. From any direction, they can only see water mist that blocks people’s vision. It is impossible to see where the continent is.

“OK, now we have two options. One is staying in place, waiting for the next batch of fools to be sent to this star. The other one is trying to fly over the boundless ocean and find the continent to explore other transmission circles. For the former opinion, we may become immortals in the spiritual world before a fool shows up. For the latter opinion, the worst scenario is being Magellan who demonstrated that a planet is round—we will end up with where we start. Which one do you prefer? ”

Two people waiting in the desert and then becoming immortals in the spiritual world? If they don’t have to look for their own family, Mu Tiannan will definitely choose the first one without hesitation.

Therefore, does he have a choice?

“Why do I remember that the man who successfully traveled around the earth was Columbus…” Mu Tiannan seems to be trying hard to recall his world history knowledge in middle school.

Lin Luoran feels speechless.

However, when the two are flying over the sea, she is still struggling—it’s Magellan or Columbus?

Hey, this was a point of knowledge hundreds of years ago! As a great Divinization cultivator, if anyone dares to test her with similar questions, she will “kill” him!

The Wind-riding Spell is not fast. However, with her current personal ability, she may not be slower than Goldie back then.

In the past, she sat on Goldie’s back. The journey from Jinling to the center of Chuan province was a thousand miles and they could be faster than a direct flight. She and Mu Tiannan have been flying above the sea for more than ten days. They finally see the land they yearn for day and night.

When feeling a little tired, Lin Luoran also uses a bone boat to replace flying. However, there is always a movement from the deep sea, and the dark tide is surging. It seems that a creature is about to break through the confinement and swims up. In order to avoid trouble, she and Mu Tiannan seldom rest. From the distance they have covered, this planet is at least ten times larger than the earth!

If Lin Luoran hadn’t seen people the moment they land, she would have thought that they had really circled the planet and returned to the island where the one-way transmission circle was.

When they appear in the port, they notice something is wrong.

The locals with goods on their heads are staring at them strangely.

Dark skin, stunning facial features of women, colorful dress with gorgeous flowers, golden jewelry on the wrists and necks which shows their preferences, and a strong flavor of spices…

“Mu Tiannan, are we in India?”

Together with Brother Mu, she sees many “Indian brothers”. Lin Luoran feels it really interesting.

Mu Tiannan shakes his head, “Black Tortoise said that this world has diverse civilizations. It is so true.”

The world of cultivation on the earth is also diversified. It doesn’t make sense that there is no Buddhism in this world. There is an extremely prominent golden-topped temple near the port, which is undoubtedly similar to Indian architecture.

A bold local rushes up to them. Lin Luoran feels a strong curry smell while he is talking. As for what he says, she doesn’t even understand a word. Mu Tiannan can communicate effectively with the people here. With guessing, he realizes the man is asking where they came from.

These people obviously don’t have personal ability, and they don’t seem to be afraid of cultivators. However, when Mu Tiannan gestures to explain that they come here from an island on the sea, they flee in all directions with panic.

People are screaming with similar words, and they don’t even take the goods with them.

The noisy harbor is empty immediately. If Lin Luoran’s spiritual mind weren’t able to “see” the locals running and hiding in the buildings, she would really think that they just discovered a dead city in the first place.

Mu Tiannan jumps up like a big eagle. The low courtyard wall can never stop a big monster. Stared at by his red eyes, a person soon falls into a dullness.

In just two minutes, Mu Tiannan lets go of him and disappears in place with Lin Luoran.

After a long time, someone goes out to check and confirm that the two have really left. The port gradually becomes noisy again. However, in the next few months, the atmosphere of this port city will be very depressing.

“This planet believes in Buddhism. The locals believe that the continent under their feet is the pure land. As for the place across the sea, it is the evil land recorded in the ancient book of Buddhism.”

Mu Tiannan smiles bitterly, “We have definitely become the evil abomination who escaped from the evil land. The Buddha on this planet may soon know this news. By the way, although this planet is large, there are only two continents—the evil land where we arrived, and the pure land where we are at this moment.”

“How about country and religion…”

“Unfortunately, there is only one country called Hasa. Of course, there is also only one religion that worships Hasa Mi Buddha.”

Lin Luoran frowns, “I haven’t heard of it.”

In the early years, she had studied some ancient Buddhist books to invite the Buddha to show up. During the time of the Buddhas, there was a king in Magadha called “King Pingpusara”, he and Queen Vettihi both believed in Buddhism. They devoted themselves to Buddhism and they were the original protector of Buddhism. The king and his wife were then imprisoned by the prince Ajashi when they were old, which became the origin of the Pure Land of nirvana in Buddhism.

After listening to it, Mu Tiannan doesn’t feel relaxed at all. Although he doesn’t know the connection between them, he always has a bad hunch. Hasa Mi Buddha reminds him of some cults of Huaxia before the New Era. Such things will never be righteous.

Lin Luoran feels kind of helpless. What is going on now? They are just some passersby, but now they have become abominations in the religion of Hasa? In a country with fanatical believers, they can’t end well by being “heretical”.

“I have a bad feeling…”

“I guess……”

The two say in unison, and Mu Tiannan smiles, “After you.”

Lin Luoran touches her nose, “Fantasy novels love such kind of settings—if the entrance and exit are in different places, the exit must be in the nest where the big boss rests.”

Mu Tiannan’s eyes are bright. Getting along for a hundred years, they have really cultivated some tacit understanding.

“I just read the memories of the locals. The birthday of Hasa Mi Buddha is in the next month. Devout believers usually set off half a year before its birthday. They have to kneel and worship all the way to the temple where the Hasa Mi Buddha’s golden body is.”

Lin Luoran thinks of something, “We come to meet it?”

Mu Tiannan smiles without saying a word.

He and Lin Luoran are accused of being the evil “abominations” in Buddhism which eat human flesh and drink human blood. They have to meet it—they have to see what the true Buddhas in the Pure Land of Hasa are.
